I'm back to my Vermont "Elements of Place" series, coming down the home stretch in the next two weeks with my final images. Here a child's figure is camouflaged among the stream, trees and fallen leaves, one part in the whole pattern of the forest.
What a little surprise to find the child in this painting, Susan. I love the autumn and can see myself doing exactly as this boy is doing...just looking...
Even though I grew up in the suburbs of Washington, DC, I spent many happy hours when I was a child alone in the creeks and woods around my house. Today unfortunately for both the kids and ecology of suburbs, all of those streams are culverted.

My visual journal is inspired by what I see every day: the weather on my hill in northern Vermont, what’s growing in my garden, a curio brought back from travels or an ordinary object from the kitchen shelf made special by careful looking. "Journal" paintings are fast, improvised daily entries, a chance to experiment with new approaches and pay attention to the here-and-now. When I’m traveling, quickly recorded impressions are posted from Paris, Provence, Spain, Maine and anywhere else I’ll find myself this year. My large studio compositions take time, planning, refining of the original inspiration. I'll also be sharing that different kind of creative process with you here on "A Painter's Year".
